He still has some of those early photos dating back to the 1940s.<\/p>\n<p>Although both photography and acting are about creating, there are differences between the two. &#8220;I just fell in love with the whole idea of creating an image,&#8221; said Nimoy of photography. &#8220;It&#8217;s quite different from what an actor does. An actor produces something that you can&#8217;t hold in your hand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some people were surprised about his choice of projects. In &#8220;The Full Body Project,&#8221; Nimoy photographed large women, some of whom posed nude. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s what has surprised some people,&#8221; said Nimoy. &#8220;Some have written about the nudity. But generally most people are not surprised to find out anymore that I&#8217;m a photographer. The work has had enough recognition now that if they haven&#8217;t seen it, they&#8217;ve probably heard about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nimoy will be speaking about his photography at the University of Alabama at Birmingham on Friday, February 5th, at 7:30 P.M., at Volker Hall. <\/p>\n<p>To read more, head to the article located <a class=\"link\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.al.com\/scene\/2009\/02\/leonard_nimoy_to_speak_about_h.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Similarities between photography and acting for the original Spock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413],"tags":[2409,2412],"class_list":["post-5395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","tag-nimoy","tag-spock"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a>","tag_info":"Cast &amp; Crew","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5395"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5395\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7146,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5395\/revisions\/7146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
